yeah. so far. it's easier for them to just buy me out and leave me without a car, hehe.

really though, they can't source a new one like this. Subaru dealers are small and a select few get alotted STIs for dealer stock. and of those, rarely are they ISM (silver) hatchbacks. and for orders, the lead times are 8-12 weeks, on average. i waited about 8 weeks for mine when i ordered it.

i am asking them if they could help me source one quicker than that if i were to go back to a subaru. if they can, then i'll ask them for a loaner for the time being.
 
I'd be surprised if they made you sign a NDA relating to what was wrong with your car, maybe about the price they give you. They won't admit anything, so there isn't really anything for you to disclose.

thanks!

i haven't signed anything yet, and they didn't mentioned an NDA re: buying the car back, only if i elected to have the repairs. but that could just be an omission by the person who wrote the email.

better safe than sorry at this point. whatever i need to do to get the hell out of this pile.
 
I bought a 98 Mark 8 new in 98, took it to my local stealership with 1200 miles on the Odo. Left it with them for 1 week for a AC blend door issue.
They put 198 miles on it, wrecked it, blew the rear and trashed the interior.
The had the body fixed before I saw it and I picked the car up after hours.
Turns out they took the entire passenger side off of it.
Short story- 18 Months and 11,000 miles later Lemon Law saved my butt.
Full reimbursement minus the miles.

I had my 1996 Chevy Caprice SS bought back under the Lemon Laws in Florida. The car had a faulty drive shaft and it took over a year and an attorney. The manufacutrer has three documented tries to fix the issue before it can be considered a lemon law case. I wasnt prepared for the fight that Chevy put up but they finally gave in. It was not a pleasant process and to this day I will not own any General Motors product.
